Is there meaning to life?…... and MORE

Elizabeth Oldfield & James Marriott: Is there meaning to life?

Elizabeth Oldfield, host of the Sacred Podcast, and James Marriott, literary critic and Times columnist, join me on Uncommon Ground to discuss whether we can find meaning in life without God.

Elizabeth tells of her own search for meaning in Christian faith, while James explains why, as an atheist nihilist, he still loves art and literature. They discuss the search for purpose, and signs of a new interest in faith among young people.
